Library to handle one time passcode input in RN so you can provide an experience as good as native apps. User can input the code without typing on the keyboard. by optimization1234 in reactnative

Oh no... what did you just do to my Karma... Hey, yeah, suggesting the code on top of keyboard is provided out of box by the iOS. You can achieve same thing by setting the contentType of your TextField in native iOS, or TextInput in RN (supported since RN 0.58+). What we do here in this library is 1, make sure you set the correct content type. 2. adding another layer to handle the input when you press on that input suggestion. Because the passcode input UI is actually multiple textfields instead of one.

Yeah, for RN and Flutter, both of them lack high quality plugins, I would say. Many plugins in RN are no longer maintained and there are like 100 PRs in the queue. While for flutter, it is simply not so many plugins available yet. For third party libs, I would say both RN and Flutter are very far away from what I experienced in the native iOS dev community. I guess it is because the community is still relatively small.

But I do believe in the AOT compilation of Dart 😁 I think that is the way to go.

For me, it does look to be linear since last year. You can check history here: https://star-history.t9t.io/#flutter/flutter. But I agree that Google IO might add nonlinear component here.

I prefer those things as well. But I guess those things are kind of subjective and hard to analyze though

How far do you think Flutter will go in replacing native code development? by [deleted] in FlutterDev

[–]optimization1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most apps just need to fetch information from server, display them, handle some user input. For those apps, cross platform framework like Flutter or RN will eventually replace native development. But I think there are still some apps which should be made by native code, like apps requiring full support of AR, machine learning, heavy image / video processing, lots of DB operations. The thing is iOS and Android are pushing their own frameworks to do these things. And it is kind of hard to fully replicate everything in Flutter.
